* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Bugs apparently do not respire at all. They are seen surviving without equipment on atmosphere-free Pluto, the methane-atmosphere of Tophet, the not-quite-oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere of Klendathu and the oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere of Earth. They are also seen, on occasion, underwater, although there appear to also be water-specific bugs used for aquatic missions.

* SpaceDoesNotWorkThatWay: Winged bugs flying on airless Pluto.Pluto. Pluto does ''technically'' have an atmosphere (composed of nitrogen, methane and carbon monoxide), but it's about one tenth of one percent ''of one percent'' of the density of Earth's atmosphere. Good luck flying in that.

* YouKeepUsingThatWord: Doc keeps using "virus" and "bacteria" interchangably, along with related terms such as "infection." An infection, by definition, is not caused by a virus, and a virus, by definition, can not be defeated by means of an anti-biotic.

*TheMainCharactersDoEverything: Lampshaded in Higgins' narration; the Roughnecks are always on point in the most critical missions of the war.-->'''Higgins:''' When the going gets tough, the tough do all the heavy lifting.**The two named pilots Barcalow and Ibanez pilot whatever type of spacecraft the episode requires; from fighters and dropships to capital warships.

* CartwrightCurse: Dizzy ''believes'' this to be the case, but of all her relationships only Zander was killed or removed from the series. Lampshaded when Diz tries to give Johnnie an ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies speech to hold off a RelationshipUpgrade.

** In the Tesca Campaign, Rico is injured and stuck in a medical People Jar while he screams that he hears Bugs approaching, "...they're coming, they're almost here, can't you hear them!?" The doctor believe he is traumatised from his injuries and plan to classify him as Section Eight, which involves a MindWipe to remove the memory of the traumatic event, thus "killing" that version of Rico. It turns out the tank he is in is conducting sounds from underground, where the Bugs are digging their tunnels.
